Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth. But if you start seeing the ghost of a World War II Japanese kamikaze fighter pilot, you’re probably Enoch Brae, the central character of Restless. And that’s not a bad place to be. Enoch is an odd kid. If your name is Enoch [...]
“Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots” get their day on the big screen in Real Steel, a movie that transcends the one-joke premise and is instead a heartwarming, fist-pumping mechanized fairy tale of a father and son coming together amid some of the baddest technology you’ll ever wish was really available. Not to bad for a [...]
With Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opening this week, it seems time to take a look back at the critical punching bag career of Michael Bay. Outside of The Rock, Bad Boys and Transformers people have destroyed and tarnished his films. While Pearl Harbor is undoubtedly one of the worst things to happen to humanity, [...]
From the super awesome people at JoBlo and USA Today, we finally get a clearer shot of what to expect from Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland. No, we don’t have any pictures of the fair maiden yet, but what we do have are up close and personal shots of Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, [...]
Films that are based on a true story are supposed to educate you on the subject matter and the story that film is trying to tell. There are characters that we learn about, feel for, and that keep us engrossed in the story. Hunger is based on a true story, but does none of these [...]
Right in time for Father’s Day thanks to the awesome folks at Screen Gems is the new thriller remake, The Stepfather.

Michael (Badgley) returns home from military school to find his mother (Sela Ward) happily [...]
Guy Ritchie’s latest cinematic romp comes in the form of one of the most loved and suave British mystery solvers in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Jumping onto the big screen Christmas Day, Detective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat [...]
Happy times all right! Who doesn’t get fuzzy with the overly used up plot device of inevitable world destruction by some random natural disaster? If you don’t, then Ronald Emmerich did not hear you one bit thanks to the creation of his latest disaster piece (possibly in more ways than one) 2012. Starring the likes [...]
Greaaat day in the morning was I off or what last week? I figured the quartet in Vegas would still pound strong but bland do-gooder Ben Stiller is proving to be a bigger juggernaut than originally thought. As far as Eddie Murphy is concerned, he better start seriously moving the ball on Beverly Hills Cop [...]
Year One wants it’s audience to believe it’s Agent Sands at the end of Once Upon A Time In Mexico. The film blindly fires it’s comedy at us, hoping things will hit us and evoke mountains of laughter. Why shouldn’t it? It’s directed by Harold “Egon” Ramis who’s done some decent comedy directing and is [...]
